Antarctic Whitescape
I used to think that a new word
was required to describe the scenery in Antarctica, around
the coast it was frequently difficult to tell where the
land ended and the sea began, and sometimes what was land,
glacier, sea-ice or ice berg all blended into a single continuous
flow of features.
"Whitescape" sums it up for me although that belies the
subtlety of the details of the vistas. Everywhere consists
of white and shades of blue, as made by an artist with a
limited palette, and with so much reflection around, there
are no real dark shadows.
